Fans of Naughty Dog’sThe Last of Ushave hailed the game’s opening as the ‘best in any video game, ever’ - and that’s a claim I can get behind.
It’s been a much quieter summer thanThe Last of Usfans perhaps expected. Originally,Naughty Dogwere reportedly set to show off their upcoming The Last of Us multiplayer project at the PlayStation Showcase that took place back in May. Unfortunately, following a review from fellow studio Bungie who experienced concern over the game’s longevity, the reveal was pulled. Naughty Dog did then confirm they’re working ona new single-player experience, but we don’t know what this is. We also don’t have any season two casting news due to the ongoing writer’s and actor’s strikes. It looks as ifThe Last of Us Part IIcould receive a PS5 port soonbut that too is technically unconfirmed. In the meantime though, fans are talking about the genius that isThe Last of Us Part I’s opening.
The opening scene ranked amongst our own favourites here at GAMINGbible.
One Reddit user took to the site towrite, “The Last of Ushas the best opening of any video game ever. […] It boils down to a couple things. I’ve never played a game where it felt like I was actually experiencing the end of the world, really feeling society crumble. Little details like seeing the explosion out of the window and then seeing it on TV make the apocalypse so immediate and close and because you’re playing [as] Joel’s daughter, you feel completely helpless and vulnerable.”
